Feast of Carols a success

The College of Idaho Choir and Chorale presented a Feast of Carols in
the foyer of Langroise on Dec. 2. Choral Director Andrew Percifield selected a variety of classical and popular holiday pieces.

The audience laughed with the Feast Masters, Lisa and
Elaine Derry, who added a special repartee to the program. Santa, Frosty
the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer also entertained the more than
400 people who were seated at tables on the main floor and balcony. The
audience sampled a feast of desserts prepared by Bon Appetit during the
intermission.

“This event was so enjoyable that people will want to make
this musical extravaganza an annual event. It was a great experience for the
singers, who not only sang with enthusiasm, but did the decorating and the
clean up too,” said Sylvia Hunt (‘59)who performed.

Lee and Bonine share experiences with C of I students

Two alumni, Kwang-Sae
Lee (‘56) and David Bonine (‘97) are giving back to The C of I, by
talking to current students about their careers and life after college. Both
served as guest lecturers during Homecoming – Dr. Lee to two philosophy
classes, and David to one of Jasper LiCalzi’s political economy classes.

Lee is a professor at Kent State University and Bonine is the Foreign Policy Legislative Assistant to Senator
Robert Byrd.

“Having alumni speak allows the
students to get pertinent information from experts in the field who used to be
sitting in the same place our current students are now,” said LiCalzi, who’s
had three alumni guest lecturers this year. “Besides topical and substantive
information, the†alumni also talk about how they have gone from being a
student at C of I to their current†positions.”†

The other alumni who spoke in
LiCalizi’s class were Jon Evans (’01), who works for the Social Security
Administration and Brad Brooks (’05) who works for†The Wilderness
Society
